About this property

Les Hirondelles - La Ferme des Tourterelles

Les Hirondelles has been awarded four keys by Clévacances. Please contact Sarah if you want to make sure this cottage best fits your requirements before booking.

Les Hirondelles sleeps four and comprise two large en-suite bedrooms. The contemporary bathrooms comprise a bath, shower, hand basin and toilet as well as a hair dryer. The main bedroom has a king size bed and satellite TV. Crisp white cotton sheets are provided along with towels. There is a large open plan living area with adjoining fully-fitted kitchen, dining area and lounge equipped with satellite TV, DVD and internet access. The charm of the old building has been maintained with exposed oak beams and with the stone walls in the double bedroom and sitting room.

In front of the Gite is a terrace with wooden garden furniture and parasol. Privacy is offered by the surrounding flower beds and trellis supporting clematis, honeysuckle & roses.




Set on the borders of a regional park and champagne vineyards, La Ferme des Tourterelles provides an oasis of calm. There are four cottages recently converted from barns, sleeping 8-10, 6-7, 4-5 and 4 people, each decorated to a high standard providing all comforts. Each have their own private terrace surrounded by honeysuckles and roses. They line a courtyard and all have access to the large garden and outdoor heated swimming pool which have fabulous views of the rolling hills of forest and arable fields.

You can relax on one of the many terraces, play games such a table-tennis or boules. There is much to occupy you from visiting the medieval towns of Bar-sur-Aube or Troyes, shopping in the biggest factory outlets at Troyes, having fun at Nigloland the 3rd largest amusement parks in France, following the champagne route discovering great good value champagnes, walking or cycling in the countryside, or partaking in the water sports on the lakes in the Regional Park nearby.


La Ferme des Tourterelles at Eclance: We are situated in Eclance on the borders of the champagne producing region and the ParkRegional Naturel of the Forest d'Orient. Eclance is a small village nestling in a large clearing surrounded by woods and rolling countryside. It is predominantly a village based on agriculture. La Ferme des Tourterelles used to house dairy cattle whose milk was used by the Eclance cheese maker to make a cheese well known in these parts. Whilst we have been able to revive at least the farm buildings, the cheese maker is now no longer in existance.

Our gardens and pool look out onto the forest of the Regional Park, with the forests and its wildlife protected as a Natura 2000 site. Wildlife is abundant with the seasons greeting different birds as they migrate across our region. Deer and wild boar can also be seen.

For those who book a week at La Ferme des Tourterelles, a bottle of champagne is on offer from our favourite champagne makers Philippe Legout from Rouvres-les-Vignes.

What a beautiful rural gem
We stayed in a delightful 2 bed cottage for 4 nights. It’s really hard to find fault with this place. The descriptions are accurate but I’d say we were still pleasantly surprised on arrival. The owners really couldn’t be more helpful, willingly offering local advice and suggestions without being intrusive. The pool is excellent, the cottages nicely furnished and the location beautiful. It is a very rural location with no services in the village but a short drive takes gets you to everything you need. An easy drive to the historic town of Troyes, well worth a visit.

Toller Urlaub
Wir haben im Juli eine wunderschöne Woche in eclance verbracht! Die Wohnung ist stilvoll und gerĂ€umig, jedes Zimmer mit eigenem Badezimmer. Der Pool lĂ€sst keine WĂŒnsche offen, die Kinder haben es geliebt! In der Umgebung gibt es einige interessante und aufregende Ausflugsziele (Essoyes auf renoirs spuren, nigloland fĂŒr die kids..) - alles in allem super tolle Ferien!

Wonderful accommodation, and setting with excellent hosts
Sarah and James have done a great job of creating a lovely place to stay, with a big pool, and friendly atmosphere. The accommodation is excellent, and very well equipped. The pool is also perfect. It’s a very welcoming place, and Sarah and James are super helpful, relaxed and friendly. We certainly recommend it here (we travelled as a family with a 2 year old and 5 year old).

Very pleased to find this place! The village is quiet and picturesque. Accommodation is comfortable and contemporary. Kids loved playing in the pool and playing table tennis and boules. The morning delivery of fresh pastries was very welcome! Sarah and James are very genial and helpful hosts.

Superbe séjour à eclance
Nous avons passĂ© 3 semaines Ă  ECLANCE chez Sarah et James. Que dire... C'Ă©tait tout simplement magnifique!!! Des vacances de rĂȘve... Tout d'abord c'est un superbe rĂ©gion : lacs, forĂȘts, cerfs en libertĂ©, l'air pur, des fleurs... Ensuite la propriĂ©tĂ© est magnifique: la maison, la piscine, le terrain avec les jeux pour les enfants, le barbecue, les roses, de la lavande... trop beau! Et enfin ce qui Ă©tait trĂšs important pour nous Sarah et James sont hyper gentils et trĂšs discrets, on se sent vraiment comme chez nous, Ă  la maison. Bref, nous sommes ravis, c'est une adresse Ă  retenir et nous le recommandons Ă  tout le monde!

Delightful
We had a wonderful time in a beautiful setting. The accommodation is of a very hight standard and all amenities within the property are superb. The pool is a particular feature. We will definitely visit again, as it is also a great location near a really nice amusement park Nigloland, the city of outlet shops (Troyes) is 30 miles away and there is plenty to see in the lac de la Foret d'Orient natural park. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Lacey

Host profile image
James a chartered builder and Sarah, who worked in IT as a Client Director, both British, had a dream of renovating a group of old barns to create a holiday haven and with La Ferme des Tourterelles in Eclance, they certainly found such a project. It has taken over 10 years to get to lovingly restore all the old buildings to life. They are now tackling their own home!

Why they chose this property

It was a great project based on lovely limestone buildings and wooden frames. Whilst almost a ruin, it gave a clean template to create modern interiors whilst maintain the character of the old buildings. It is set on the edge of a small village in the champagne region with glorious views from their land which was large enough to build a big swimming pool. It was also only 4 hours drive from Calais so it is in easy driving distance for guests to join them (as well as to get back to the UK to see family and friends).

What makes this property unique

Watch the sun set over the forests and fields from the terrace. Hear the cranes as they fly by twice a year in their V formation marking the seasons. Likewise, watch the swallows as they rest on our gutters and roofs in the early morning waiting for their breakfast and suddenly swooping down throughout our courtyard as if a conductor waved their baton for them to start. Get drawn into the huge skies at night trying to identify the constellations and catching sight of the shooting stars. Watch the bats come out to feed in the early evening as you start to prepare your BBQ's (no they will not be looking at your food!). Walk down the courtyard and be enveloped by the aromas of the roses, lavender and honeysuckle. We hope you love these experiences.
